Hello again, Dave here. I’m afraid this review is RIPE for puns, because today we’re going to take a look at the game Fruit Case. Don’t make the mistake I did and misread it as “Fruit Cake”, which as well as being a tasty treat is another way in the UK of saying someone’s not quite all there (as in “he’s nutty as a fruit cake”).

Anyway, now we’ve got that out of the way let’s keep our eyes PEELed so we can discover more about this slot. So what we have here is a fruit-themed, 5 reel, 20 line slot game. It’s got fairly basic but cheerful graphics and is a straightforward game to play. The maximum basic jackpot on offer is 2,000 coins, but various features can multiply that up. But as with most games, you don’t get anything for a PEAR. Ok, I’ll stop the puns now!

About the Fruit Case Slot Machine

As I said this is a nice easy game to play. You can change your coin values between €0.01 and €0.50 which means your betting range is up to €100 per spin. The bet and payout amounts mean this game isn’t going to appeal to high-rollers, but for casual players or those looking to place moderate wagers it could be the one for you.

Obviously most of the symbols are of fruit (all wearing funny expressions) with a few more traditional symbols thrown in for good measure. Like a lot of modern slots there are wildcards and scatter symbols, and there’s a “free-fall” bonus round where wins are multiplied by 3 – that’s how you can enjoy the maximum win of 160,000 coins. Tasty!

Important Symbols

The “Fruit Case” symbol is one you want to see, as this one is the wildcard. It will combine with all standard game icons to create extra win combos. A nice extra feature is that each “Fruit Case” wildcard has a multiplier amount displayed on it, meaning you can enjoy anything up to 8 times the usual amount. The only snag is that the wildcards will only show up on the middle three of the five reels available.

If you’re feeling thirsty, then a fruit smoothie might be in order – so keep your eyes open for the Blender symbol. In this game it’s a scatter icon, and although you’ll get some wins when it shows up anywhere, what you really want is to get them on a pay line in consecutive order as this triggers bonus round.

Payout Table and Win Potential

For a simple game, Fruit Case can actually be very lucrative thanks to those bonus rounds. A top prize of 160,000 coins is rather impressive! The on-screen paytable is easily accessible and lists out all the win combinations. The standard fixed maximum pot in normal playing is 2,000 coins for getting 5 juicy strawberries in a line, but there are no progressive pots to go for in this one.

Fruit Case Bonus Features

If you’re lucky enough to get three of the smoothie blenders on a pay line you’ll activate the “Fruit Fall” bonus round and will be rewarded with ten spins. Wildcards are live during this round so you can start to stack up some great multipliers. You can even get three more blenders and gain another ten spins. Just to make things even more tasty, all winnings in the bonus play will be paid triple standard rates. Phew!

Game Settings and How To Play Fruit Case

The controls are nice and straightforward. Choose how much you want to bet and spin those reels. The wide betting range means it’s going to appeal to the casual small stakes player and perhaps to those who want to try up to €100 per spin given those excellent bonuses. There’s a classic “skillstop” feature to interrupt the spins where you want, and the usual handy “automatic play” function if you’ve got a set number of spins you want to play through and let the computer do all the work for you.

You can also mess with a few settings like muting all sounds, volume levels, remove ambient sound on or off and so forth. If you’re using actual cash to play then the machine keeps a play history for you that you can see at any time.

So as you can tell, this fruity little number has the ability to create some exciting play options thanks to its tasty bonus play. Delicious!
